"Come with me, remember to call Ilvermorny."

"In the past, after sorting Mr. Wertling, the two of you can still make it to lunch time." Norton II stood by the fireplace with green flames, and there was a faint sound of clanging on the other side , which sounded like the sound of a knife and fork hitting a dinner plate, he stretched out his right hand holding the scepter in a gesture of "please come in", looked at White, and said, "White, but you... you are still-- "

"I understand, Uncle Norton, I'm relieved to deliver them to you." White nodded, picked up his wand, and disappeared into the office.

Nelson pulled the suitcase, took a deep breath, and walked towards the fireplace as nervously as he had boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time via King's Cross platform nine and three-quarters.

"Wait, Nelson." Lorien grabbed his arm and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to walk into this fire?"

"That's right, the other side should be the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Nelson patiently explained, "Floo powder can activate the fireplace connected to the Floo network. Be sure to call the correct name before entering."

Unlike Hogwarts, although Ilvermorny also set up a large number of hiding places and spells to protect the school, it still left a place in the school hall to set up a fireplace dedicated to receiving visitors, making Ilvermorny Compared with other magic academies in the world, Neil communicates more frequently and effectively with the outside world—this young school, which was founded in the first half of the seventeenth century and has a history that is not even as long as some schools, through frequent exchanges and unique teaching It became one of the most prestigious wizarding schools in the world, and of course, for the students of Ilvermorny, the best wizarding school in the world.

"Ilvermorny." Nelson walked to the fireplace and whispered the name of the school. When the flames in the fireplace turned green, he pulled the box and stepped in.

"Welcome to Ilvermorny, Mr. Wertling." Nelson raised his head, and Norton II was standing in front of him, supporting himself who was a little uncomfortable. After cleaning up the soot, he turned sideways and motioned for Nelson to welcome Lori Ann who came out later, while he greeted the teachers who came out relaxedly.

Soon, a figure in a dress appeared in the fireplace. Nelson stepped forward, took Lori Ann's hand, and covered the girl's head with the other hand, helping her out of the fireplace.

"Clean it up." Nelson took out his wand, and helped Lori Ann dust off her body in a similar manner.

"Thank you!" Lori Ann thanked with a smile, and then began to look around at the grand hall they were in. This building is not much different from the Great Hall of Hogwarts, with rough and stream-of-consciousness brushwork on the towering stone walls Depicting the story of the establishment of this magic school, it looks like a child's graffiti, giving people a natural and clumsy look.

The dome of the hall is also unique. Four weathers with distinct personalities are intertwined. Each weather is painted with a magical animal, namely the long-horned water snake crawling in the dense fog, the thunderbird calling the wind and rain in the thunderstorm, and the standing under the scorching sun. The leopard cat roaring on the hills of the wasteland and the goblin healing the trees in the wet jungle-these four magical animals also correspond to the four colleges of Ilvermorny, and four long tables are placed directly below the four weathers , the four long tables were full of students, the blue school robe was dotted with rose red lace, and the neckline was tied with a golden complex knot.

"Your Majesty Norton."

When the teachers approached, the leading old man blinked mischievously, and took the lead to kneel down to Norton II. Norton II hurried to help him, but when his hand reached out, the teachers had already saluted and got up. up.

Nelson noticed that Norton II hadn't moved his position since standing there, and it seemed that Ilvermorny was also covered with magic that prohibited apparation, so that Norton II could not move freely.

"Why bother with these red tapes." Norton II stood there dumbfounded.

"You are our emperor." The old man walked forward with a smile, hugged Norton II, and quickly turned his eyes to the two standing behind Norton.

"These two are the students and job-seeking janitors I mentioned when I wrote to you earlier." Norton II turned sideways and introduced to the old man, "Nelson Wertling and Lori Ann Cornalo."

After all, he whispered something to the old man. The old man waved his hand to let the teachers behind him leave first, and then looked thoughtfully in the direction of Nelson and Lori Ann, but he didn't know who he was looking at.

Norton II waved his hand to bring Nelson and Lori Ann closer, and pulled the old man to introduce them, "This is the current principal of Ilvermorny, Professor Scrittef Twelve Trees."

"Professor." "Professor." Nelson and Lori Ann greeted each other. Nelson was a little curious. Words like "City Mansion" and "Secret" were rarely used by people to name them.

"Hello." Professor Twelve Trees greeted the two of them with a smile, just like an elderly neighbor. His gray half-length hair and beard have not been carefully taken care of. He has a red, chubby He has a bulbous nose, and his small black eyes sparkle with childlike cunning and innocence. He wears a blue and red wizard robe trimmed with gold, which looks like a cassock. There seems to be a huge power hidden in his tanned palms. , but through the cuffs on his wrists, it can be seen that his skin is actually very fair. This old man must have often done some outdoor homework when he was young.

He pulled Nelson over, took Lorien and handed her into Nelson's hands, and said easily, without the restraint of meeting for the first time, "Don't be grateful to His Majesty the Emperor, he sent me the application form but I signed it Agreed."

"Skritov." Norton II smiled wryly and spread his hands.

"Go back." Professor Twelve Trees snapped his fingers and said proudly, "Don't worry if you leave them to me, our school is no worse than their Hogwarts, I have lifted the ban on apparation , go get busy."

Norton II nodded, held on to the brim of his top hat, and disappeared in an instant.

Since the fireplace for visitors is located in the corner of the hall, only a few students noticed the arrival of Nelson and his party. Most of them withdrew their eyes after a couple of glances. The direction of the visitor's fireplace.

"Come with me." Professor Twelve Trees clapped his hands, and Nelson and Lori Ann followed him through the gate of the auditorium and walked forward along a corridor paved with stone bricks.

"The two of you can dine in the staff cafeteria later," said Professor Twelve Trees, snapping his fingers, and a short-haired wizard in a dark blue robe suddenly appeared beside him. He looked at Lori Ann and asked , "Miss Cornaro, would you mind living in the cottage next to the greenhouse? There is everything there, the conditions are not worse than other rooms, and it is closer to various places."

"Yes." Lori Ann nodded.

"Okay, Mr. Wertning, are you two going to live together? The hut has been vacant, and there are four rooms in it, which is enough for two people... Our dormitory is just full."

Nelson asked Lori Ann for advice, and she said to Professor Twelve Trees, "Yes, it's also convenient for me to take care of him."

"Okay," Professor Twelve Trees said to the wizard beside him, "Nidander, can you help me take Miss Cornalo to her future residence?"

Nedander turned around, and Nelson realized that she turned out to be a witch with a cropped head. Her voice was a bit hoarse, and matched with her deep-lined face, she had a strange charm. She asked Nelson, "Will?" Erttling, do you need me to help you with your luggage?"

"Oh, yes." Nelson was flattered and handed over the suitcase, thanking him, "Thank you, Ms. Nedander."

"I'm the school administrator of Ilvermorny, and that's what I should do." Nedander pursed his thin lips and said, "If you must have a title, please call me Mr. Nedander."

"...Okay, thank you, Mr. Nedander."

Nedander took Nelson's suitcase and disappeared around the corner of the corridor with Lori Ann.

Watching the two leave, Professor Twelve Trees led Nelson to the depths of the corridor, turned his head and asked, "Are you from Hogwarts? Mr. Wertling."

"I studied at Hogwarts for a while," said Nelson, "you called me"

"What college do you belong to? I remember that Hogwarts has a sorting ceremony," he thought back, and asked curiously, "Can you tell me the content of your sorting ceremony?"

"Sorry, Professor Twelve Trees, the Hogwarts sorting ceremony can only be experienced by freshmen," Nelson continued, remembering the Hogwarts tradition, "But Hogwarts does have a sorting ceremony, it will According to certain talents, students are divided into four houses, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, and I studied in Slytherin before."

"Oh~" Professor Twelve Trees understood, "So you are a Slytherin."

"That's right," Nelson nodded, "but before I was sorted into Slytherin, I thought I was a Muggle-born wizard."

"There is no difference. Your background does not determine your future." Professor Twelve Trees turned around and said seriously, "This is the consensus of some of our educators."

"I take it for granted, Professor."

"Ilvermorny also needs four colleges. We don't have as famous founders as Hogwarts. Our colleges correspond to four unique magical animals in America. character." Professor Twelve Trees questioned, "Mr. Wiltoning, do you know which four magical animals they are?"

"Horned water snakes, thunderbirds, ocelots, and goblins." Nelson replied, "I've read some books on the history of magic, among them are the stories about the four founders of Ilvermorny choosing four magical animals as symbols of their academy .”

"Good guy, you are actually interested in the history of magic." Professor Twelve Trees was a little surprised, as if it was normal for wizards not to pay attention to the history of magic, he said, "Since you know, then I won't say too much. How long do you want to study here, we still need to sort you, our Ilvermorny branch is not as explicit as Hogwarts... In short, there is no distinction between good and bad—"

"I understand, Professor."

"That's good." Professor Twelve Trees nodded, "Nelson, your cleansing spell is good, how is your magic mastered? I suggest you explain it in detail so that I can customize your Ilvermorny study plan."

"Okay, Professor." Nelson recalled, and said, "I studied seven courses at Hogwarts: Potions, Herbalism, Charms, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Divination, and History of Magic. The subject I master best is History of Magic, followed by Transfiguration and Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Divination are mediocre, and Potions and Herbalism are poor. "

"Where is the headquarters of the goblin rebellion?" Professor Twelve Trees asked casually.

"A tavern in Hogsmeade." Nelson replied, seeing that Professor Twelve Trees hadn't responded for a long time, he turned his head and asked, "Is that right, Professor."

Turning his head, he saw that Professor Twelve Trees was flipping through a tome that he didn’t know where he came from. Seeing Nelson looking at him, Professor Twelve Trees said, "I don’t really know...let me check Check, oh? Really."

"That's good……"

"Nelson, you said you are good at Transfiguration and Charms, is it convenient to show it?" Professor Twelve Trees pointed to the front of the corridor, "We have to walk, there is still a while."

"Okay." Nelson put his hand into his pocket, stirred it inside, and made a loud clanging noise. Professor Twelve Trees couldn't help raising his brows when he heard the strange noise, and his thick round eyebrows almost flew away. Went to heaven.

"Good idea." Professor Twelve Trees vaguely guessed what Nelson might have in his pocket, and couldn't help admiring his clear thinking.

Nelson took out a small metal ball, pulled out his wand from the inside of his coat, and used the levitation spell to control the ball to fly in front of him. As he walked forward, he waved his wand and muttered words.

The small metal ball in the air quickly became bigger and twisted, and turned into a cool little silver minecart.

"Professor, get in the car." Nelson stepped onto the small mine car without tracks, and Professor Twelve Trees followed behind and looked at his back.

Seeing the principal get into the car, Nelson pointed behind with his wand, and the car quickly ran to the front of the corridor.

Professor Twelve Trees tapped on the armrest of the trolley with his wand, snapped off a piece, held it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and nodded from time to time.

"Did Albus Dumbledore teach you your Transfiguration?" Professor Twelve Trees patted Nelson's shoulder appreciatively, and said, "Very good, if you only look at Transfiguration, I can give it to you directly. You have issued your diploma."

"thank you."

"You are great, Nelson." Professor Twelve Trees patted harder, "You will be the pride of Ilvermorny... By the way, you can slow down, we are almost there."

To clarify, the official wizarding organization in the United States is not actually called the "Ministry of Magic", but the "Magic Congress of America", but the functions are actually the same.

I think the naming of the "Ministry of Magic" in various countries is actually determined according to the Muggle political system. Since I can't find the names of the state agencies in some countries at that time, for the convenience of writing later, we will collectively call them "Ministry of Magic" here.

Regarding the Twelve Trees, I didn’t find any relevant information about Ilvermorny during World War II, so the content here may be more original. If you know the book friends, welcome and thank you for your assistance in errata.
